drug

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a DNA cross-linking agent. Cisplatin has antitumor activity and inhibits DNA synthesis by forming DNA adducts in cancer cells. Cisplatin also activates ferroptosis and induces autophagy.

Haloperidol (Serenace) is a highly potent neuroleptic by relieving nervous through the depression of nerve function. In addition, haloperidol has shown about 50-fold efficacy than chlorpromazine, another antipsychotic drug. Haloperidol has some potencies in the treatment of delusions and hallucinations. Its effects are primarily attained through blocking dopamine receptors in the mesocortex and limbic system.

Amiodarone hydrochloride (Amiodarone HCl) is an antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.

Ethambutol (Myambutol) is an orally available anti-tuberculosis drug that may also be capable of interfering with arabinogalactan, thereby inhibiting cell wall synthesis and inhibiting bacteria, and may be used in animal modeling for hyperuricemia and optic neuropathy.

κ-Carrageenan, a natural polymer found predominantly in red seaweeds, can serve as an effective drug carrier for delivering curcumin to cancer cells and inducing apoptosis. Additionally, κ-Carrageenan holds promise as a potential inflammatory agent, amplifying existing intestinal inflammation.

Lactacystin is a natural non-peptide proteasome inhibitor and highly specific anticancer drug that controls the UPS of cellular protein turnover and inhibits alkaline cell proliferation, and is able to be used as a model for studying dementia, induces neurite outgrowth and transiently elevated levels of cAMP, inhibits angiogenesis, triggers apoptosis in glioma cells, and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Dizocilpine Maleate (MK 801) is a potent noncompetitive antagonist of the NMDA receptor (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) with Kd of 37.2 nM in rat brain membranes. The drug has been considered for the wide variety of neurodegenerative conditions or disorders in which NMDA receptors may play an important role.
